The Concept

The Fête de la Musique originally comes from France (initiated in 1982 by the French Ministry of Culture) and is celebrated every year on June 21 — the day of the summer solstice — in over 1,000 cities worldwide. In Germany, it began in Berlin in 1995 and has since spread nationwide.

Neubrandenburg has been one of the participating cities since 2025. 2026 will see the second edition — on Sunday, June 21, 2026. From 4 PM to 10 PM, streets, squares, and courtyards in the city center will transform into open stages where solo musicians, bands, orchestras, and DJs will perform — free of charge for both the artists and the audience.

Genres and Formats

The motto: "Music styles of all kinds." Theater, dance, and performance are equally welcome. The program and performance venues will be announced via the city's website (neubrandenburg.de/fete) and through the organizing group.

Organizers

Four organizations coordinate the Fête in Neubrandenburg:

  • Studio am See e.V. (also organizer of the Studio am See Festival in September)
  • Stadtmagneten e.V.
  • Veranstaltungszentrum Neubrandenburg GmbH (VZN)
  • City of Neubrandenburg

Local Context

Neubrandenburg is the second-largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the administrative seat of the Mecklenburg Lake District. The city center with its four medieval city gates — Neues Tor, Stargarder Tor, Treptower Tor, and Friedländer Tor — and the rampart houses forms a unique setting for an open-air music festival. The Fête de la Musique is part of a growing summer program that brings together the city's community and its independent music scene.

Fête de la Musique NB — edition 2026

The 2nd Fête de la Musique Neubrandenburg takes place on Sunday, June 21, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM. The entire city center — streets, squares, courtyards — becomes an open-air stage. Free for musicians and audience. Organized by Studio am See e.V., Stadtmagneten e.V., VZN, and the city.

On the longest day of 2026, the Fête de la Musique will take place in Neubrandenburg for the second time. For six hours — from 4 PM to 10 PM — musicians of all genres will fill the city center with open-air music. Admission and performance are free.

The format follows the worldwide Fête tradition: no central main stage, but many small performance venues simultaneously throughout the city — from the historic market square to courtyards and squares along the medieval ramparts. All music styles, as well as theater, dance, and performance, are permitted.
